The thesis could critically examine the socio-political dynamics of wetland implementation in agricultural settings. One possibility is to assess the policy frameworks, stakeholder engagement, and the socio-economic impacts on local communities. Another possibility is to investigate the economic rationale and historical context behind the integration of wetlands into agricultural lands. Here you could explore the political and social implications of such environmental strategies from both contemporary and historical viewpoints.
